With how the Steelers hold on to veteran players and rarely play draft picks. Why not move around more to acquire picks for the future. Especially the 1st pick which by all accounts first few years are wasted. The Steelers are normally need a 1-3 players in each draft that need to produce.

We can all agree that there are quite a few 2nd round and later picks the Steelers could use to fill voids on the team. I'd rather have them trade out of the first round acquire a first for next year. When the draft comes around next year they'll have two first know matter where they are located. They can use those draft picks either on a set of players or package them to moved around.

The Steelers aren't a team that consistently needs new talent because of how they build there roster. I'm not saying that should be the thinking every year, but for a team such as the Steelers I believe it should happen more often then not._________________

We've hit big on most of our 1st rounders and got a lot of our impact players in the 1st.

Our track record in the 1st is much better than in any other round lately.

Only one of them is with in the past 7 years! The Steelers pretty much knew they would be retaining a lot of players. So why during certain years don't they just trade the pick.

I understand that but for the right price there are gullible teams. I know hindsight is 20/20 but these last few years only Pouncey and Timmons have made significant contributions. With Ziggy being the sqare peg round whole player in the bunch._________________

THIS X1000000000000000000000000, and is pretty much the only thing that needs to be said.

It gets annoying when fans act like trading down is as simple as just wanting to do it and then doing it. I, as much as anyone, would like to see us trade down this year. Im not holding my breath and I wont be upset if we dont.

The only way Id ever be mad that we didnt trade down is if I somehow got info that the Steelers had a good deal to move down and didnt take it, and then reached on a player.

Ill also add that the Steelers stay true to their board. Colbert has said that they have listened to trade offers in the past, but said if there is a player they like they will take that player. Fans may not like the player on their draft board, but its not our call._________________

To add to what 43.said of all the years to have a mid first round pick and even want to consider trading down..this has to be the worst. EVERY position has HUGE question makes. Even the elite talent isn't lined in silver. There is always trades in the first round. Always. This is the one year I think there may only be one trade, if any. The problem is, where do you truly value these guys who have so much questionable value. I don't think anyone behind us is going to want to trade uo because of the belief they can get someone just as good by sitting still.

There will be trades. There will very likely be a move in the top 10 to get Geno, good luck with that.

There will even more likely be a move up into the first to get EJ Manuel.

Barkley & Nassib also remain possible move ups from the early second to the first.

Lotulelei and Jarvis Jones may draw moves by teams as well._________________Do something you love so much you'd gladly do it for free, learn to do it so well, people will gladly pay you for it. - Walt Disney
